• Our Triple Strength Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM supplement is a combination formula that contains important nutrients that support tissue and joint health, as well as joint mobility and flexibility. These nutrients stimulate cells to help build joint cartilage as well as MSM’s sulfur content that is used to support connective tissues.

• Glucosamine is an important component of cartilage and is found naturally throughout the body, including in the fluids that surround the joints.

• Chondroitin is another naturally occurring molecule that is found in main components of cartilage and connective tissues which cushion the joints. Chondroitin helps to absorb fluid in the connective tissues, as well as repair and grow new cartilage.

• Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, is an organic source of sulfur that the body uses to support connective tissues. The sulfur found in MSM also plays a role in the production of glutathione, one of our body’s main antioxidants.

44 y/o female, gym 3x per week for 12 years. I have had consistent knee pain starting in high school. I have seen several doctors over the years with no satisfactory results. Pain killers only numb the ache. This has completely removed my knee pain. I have tried just the glucosamine, or lesser doses. But, this is the best combination with the optimal dosage. Being able to free to move, play sports and work out without pain or drugs is worth the cost.

I stopped taking these because of the very large tablet that got stuck in my throat or was painful to swallow. I did not know these tablets were so large. Vitamin Shoppe would do well to picture the size of the individual product on the outside of the bottle.

I purchase this product to replace my husband's Solgar Glucosamine Chrondroitin MSM, which is not always available. I particularly noted that the Vitamin Shoppe Equivalent "Triple Strength Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM" stated similar ingredient proportions as Solgar. Very disappointed when I received the product, which in fact has only half the potency advertised on the Vitamin Shoppe website.

My husband started taking the product on the advice of our doctor for his hip pain. Within a week, he started getting relief from the stiffness and pain! He had to get used to the large pills, but felt it was worth it for the benefits that it offers.

I have tried many different brands, and have taken many various types of other pills without ever having a problem swallowing. These pills are so large and uncoated that unless they go down exactly right they get caught in your throat.

Hi been taking this pill for years no problem about in May of 2014 I want to store for more they don't sell the blue label jar now it's yellow and blue label any way must be a up date store said pills still the same. I started to take them like always but now every time I take them in the am hours that same night I go to sleep I wake up a hour later in a night sweat on my head if I stop taking them it stops the next day I tried this on and off for 5 times all the same I will bring them back to store never going to buy them again will get some other brand.

I use to take 2 naproxen every day for the pain in my legs. Three days after using this product I have stopped taking the naproxen. My legs feel wonderful after two weeks and when I get up in the morning my legs move with ease..

I am 40 years old with aging knees as well. After 30 days I realized my knees were feeling better than they had in years. I've brought sprints back into my workout and do plyo and legs weekly with no problems.

This product combined with Tumeric, has eased the majority of my joint pain. I know it works because I had do without prior to surgery for 14 days and by day 10, my knees and hips were "screaming" their disapproval.

Life is full, active, and good. Glucosamine helps to keep it that way.

I grind this up before I put in my morning shake. It has helped my bad knees. I had damaged my knees from running for many years. I now walk twice a day without any pain. I love this stuff. It seems to work better when I grind it up.

I have arthritis in my fingers so bad I can't bend them. This supplement has made it possible for me to even make a fist. I am very pleased with the results. Also, my fingers no longer ache after using them. I take two a day.

My bones are in terrible shape, through my own fault - don't like cheese or milk or yogurt. I read one review that gave credence to adding GC to my vitamin program. I alternate it with Liquid Joint Repair juice. Yes, I have notice an improvement in my joints, but, I really need to be on the regime a little longer to gather all the benefits.

I have been using this supplement for several years now; after having tried other brands and formulas. This product in addition to proper exercise has kept my knees relatively pain free. (I have moderate cartilage loss to the interior knee joints, and a rough meniscus and baker's cyst in the left knee). Would recommend this formula for anyone experiencing pain and discomfort.

MRI in Spring of 2012 revealed severe osteoarthritis in right knee. Took three injections of the 'lubrication' shots with little relief; also tried several different versions of glucosamine. Thought I would try one more time before the next step, which is laparascopic surgery of my knee. Found this product and have tried it for a month. My knee feels much better. The effects of this product seem to be progressive, so while I still have some pain (especially when driving -- pushing the accelerator for more than 30-40 minutes was temporarily crippling) I'm hopeful that after another month or so, my knee will feel even better! I'm currently taking one a day, and considering taking two to determine if that will help me become totally pain free!

I really like this product. The pills are very large as stated in other reviews. Similar to a large vitamin or large antibiotic pill. They could easily be cut in half. The benefits greatly out weigh the pill size for me. I have 3 daughters in traveling soccer almost year round. Its about a 1/2 hour drive to games. I carry a lawn chair & small cooler to the field a few times a week. My problem is my lower back and hips. After taking this product for a few weeks my pain eased up alot. Still have pain sometimes but not nearly as bad as it was. I highly recommend this product, its been wonderful for me!

Originally purchased for my 12 year old Lab, he could barely sit,lay, walking last winter was even tougher. My vet told me to buy Glucosamine because it would help. Well out of desperation I came to the vitamin shoppe on line. The review about the lab was the reason that I made.this purchase! I give these to my senior dogs faithfully daily in their food. I.even take them.for my knees in.the winter! My dogs can easily climb up.and down stairs and jump on the.bed again. I keep these powerful pills stocked for me. and my pooches'!

Many years ago(in my 50s) running was a potent destressor and mind-clearing exercise. Osteoarthritis was a family trait that I inherated. Arthritis and running, jogging, or walking briskly are not compatable. at one point my knees were bad enough to exclude enjoyment of any weight-bearing exercise. OTC meds of all varieties proved, at best temporary and prescription drugs were laden with exotic side-efffects. A friend recommednded triple strength glucosamine/chondroitin with Msm. I tried it along with the OTC pain killers and after only a week dropped the OTC meds. I was literally up and doing light running after two weeks and continuued to improve over two more weeks. I have used this combination ever since. This product has proven itself to me and I would recommend it to anyone who can tolerate sulphated foods. There are no side-effects that I noticed and after many years of use I can say that there are no long-term negative effects that I have noticed. This is not the only product I use, but it is a valuable component of my personal approach to staying active despite a miserable genetic inheritance.

really, how big can tablets get? this one, even when cut in two, gets stuck as it goes down, and yet, I am able to take all of my other vitamins (vitamin C, calcium &#38; D, Omega 3, flaxseed oil, etc) in one swallow. From now on, I will only take glucosamine chondroitin in a capsule. Too bad I have an almost brand new bottle I will not be using.

The pills are very large, I was choking on them and not able to get many down. a friend suggested that I get a pill crusher and take it with applesauce- that is how they do it in the nursing homes. Well the pill crusher worked, I haven't needed to take with applesauce. Not sure if I will go back to the smaller tabs when I finish this bottle. There is no doubt that I will continue taking Glucosamine &#38; Chondroitin- it really does make a difference. My hip pain is gone and allows me to get back to an active lifestyle.

My dog (12 years old) has arthritis. I give her one pill a day and she's almost like a puppy again. When I stop giving it to her (if I run out of it), her legs bother her again so I try not to run out. Starts working on her within 3 days. I also use it for myself when my arthritis starts acting up. For me it takes about a week of two to work but then I only take one pill.

Fabulous product to relieve osteoarthritis pain in wrists , knees &#38; lower lumbar. Taking 2 a day, I got relief &#38; flexibility in about two - three days. Continued use maintains the relief. Recommended to a friend and she no longer uses a cane to walk. My husband achieved relief from his chronic lower lumbar pain as well.

I have been using a similar product but because of the lower dosage stength I had to take multiple pills. This is a great alternative. I read all of the reviews before ordering and the one theme I saw was the size of the pill. They are a little larger than most pills but I honestly thought they would be twice the size based on other comments. One pill, 4- 8 ounces of water, or juice, and boom it is down without a problem. I would not try dry swallowing these pills and I would not try to take 6 other pills (vitamins, prescriptions, otc meds, etc) at the same time but the pill size is not a barrier for this product.

44 y/o female, gym 3x per week for 12 years. I have had consistent knee pain starting in high school. I have seen several doctors over the years with no satisfactory results. Pain killers only numb the ache. This has completely removed my knee pain. I have tried just the glucosamine, or lesser doses. But, this is the best combination with the optimal dosage. Being able to free to move, play sports and work out without pain or drugs is worth the cost.

I am currently a healthy 37 y/o male. I play softball 5 nights a week around 10-14 games a week. I had started to notice general joint pain especially in my ankles and shoulders. My joints would pop so load sounded like breaking a whole bag of spaghetti. One of these in the morning does almost instant repair. I can see the difference from day to day if I forget to take them.

I have had TMJ forever and in recent years developed arthritis in the jaw joints. The triple product-in-one has been great at keeping flare ups to a minimum. When I do get a flare up I just double up on the dose in combination with an anti-inflamatory.

This was a product containing glucosamine SULFATE, the type of glucosamine that I read is more effective. Consumer Reports also listed this product as one that has in it exactly what is on the label, not adulterated.

I do NOT recommend this product. I only tried it because my regular (VS - 1682) was unavailable. It is too big, not easy to split, and hard to swallow. It is, however, as effective as the other product.

Best Answer:Tom, I had problems with joint aching/grinding of my knees, particularly my right knee, when ascending or descending stairs. I began taking glucosamine / chondroitin supplements, and the problems went away. That was a few years ago. Natural healing does work!
You've got to ask yourself: Who is funding these studies with the questionable results? And what is their primary motive?
The answer, in a lot of instances, is large pharmaceutical companies. Motive? Well...you can make your own assessment.
Or, one can do what millions of older Americans do...knee, hip, or other joint replacement; the need for which is mainly caused by nutrient deficiencies.
As for me, I prefer glucosamine / chondroitin supplements. They are far less expensive and less painful than surgery!
Bob B., Fort Worth, TX

my 60 year old husband is a disabled Navy vet with degenerative joint disease affecting his shoulders, knees, hips and ankles. he has had to have surgery several times and is facing more surgery in the future if the pain isn't controlled. He started taking the 3x glucosamene and condrotin from Vitamin Shoppe almost a year ago, and he is now off all of his prescription pain meds and rarely takes over the counter pain meds. If I hadn't seen the difference in how he walks and climbs stairs now compared to two years ago, i would not have believed these supplements could work like that. I am now a true believer and will keep my husband stocked up on these so he never has a chance to run out and go back the way he was.

Tom, I have heard various studies about almost every type of supplement, both pro and con. A lot of studies need to be carefully looked at to who funded them. As far as Glucosamine/Chondroitin go, both my mother's doctor, and both my doctor and orthopedic doctor have all said it can't hurt but don't expect a 'magic pill'. It all depends on what condition you're already in and whether you 'abuse' your joints, or 'nurture' them. I have also heard from professionals that any result of taking a supplement in negligable. SO I guess I'm saying, it you can affored it, try it and decide for yourself. Just remember it could take 6 months of regular use to see either a change or nothing at all. Hope this helps.

I have taken this for over 6 months The affects were not instant. Both shoulders and a hip were grinding with every move. There was some pain as well. I seldom have anymore pain and have greater movement of my joints. I will add that I am also exercising with weights and have been for about 2 years. When I added the CG with the exercise it has given me a greater range of movement in my shoulders than I had with just the exercise. I find the tablets worked better than the capsules for me.

Is there a triple strength glucosamine chondroitin MSM on the market that is easy to swallow? I have two bottles of OSTEO BI-FLEX triple strength "easy to swallow" capsules, but I can no longer get them down. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Best Answer:I take this brand all the time and have been doing so for several years now.In the past, I used to take one of this specific brand, once a day up to 5 days a week. But mostly, it is every other day for 3 pills in a week.

I no longer need to take it every day as my knees and shoulder aches have completely subsided - I basically do 3 times a week for maintenance...

Best Answer:1 tablet contains 1/2 of the most common, and most researched/tested, daily dose, which is 1500 Gluco & 1200 Chrond. I'm not aware of an equiv std for MSM. 500 mg/day of MSM would be on the conservative side, however. It is also more than the misleading, and very low dose amts found in many products. I like the fact that you are getting the full normal daily dose, in just 2 tablets a day.

Best Answer:Hydraplenish contains the patented BioCell Collagen II complex for healthy connective tissue and synovial fluid. i
